fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on  earth (the  planet where  i  live) a 
 lot of us  have  antennas on  our houses 
 or  balconies,  we   have   built  large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith, we  have 
     build specialized antennaes for      
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit),  we've  built large as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've  virtually built an antenna with a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've learned about our position in  the 
     solar system, our solar systems      
 placement   in  the   galaxy,  and   our 
 galaxys placement in the  local cluster, 
 and our  local clusters  place in  the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns  moving around the 
 center  of  the  galaxy  at velocity and 
 the galaxy  is moving  toward  andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around the galaxy.  and  we as a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite  all this,  despite  all our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes out  in fucking  space 
 at  the  speed  of light  (light is  our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
   filtering, despite our very obvious    
 beaming of  all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one       has       answered

             so why is that?              
                                          
 most  opponents  to intelligent  life in 
 the universe say it's because  you  need 
 a  class one-or-the-other  star and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from the star  (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but  really   isn't  that   keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think everyone agrees that  we have no 
 idea what we're doing (and  it  probably 
                  shows)

 i'm gonna  go smoke  my  third cigarette 
 this year and try to  snatch some  beers 
        from the local beer thing
